Chapter 74 The Fall of the Puppeteer
Jimmy’s POV
Oh, Moon Goddess, | must’ve been cursed to take that damin job.
Finisher
In less than half an hour. I'd been “visited” by two different people. First cCaesar-the Lynn
family’s Beta. Srank as me, but the murderous aura rolling off that guy nearly madepiss
myself. He grabbedby the neck and hissed, “Say Aubrey ordered it. Otherwise, I'll make sure
you spend the rest of your life tasting wolfsbane in prison.”
I nearly folded.
Until Shadowmoon Pack’s people showed up right after.
Fuck. That was a whole different league-Henry’s personal enforcers. They didn’t even bother
threatening me. Just dropped a rolled-up map of a vampire territory in front ofand said,
“Choose. Tell the truth now, or spend the rest of your miserable life in the Blood Clan’s dungeons as
a living blood bag.”
I picked survival.
1 don’t want to end up strapped down in silver chains, drained day by day while those freaks laugh
about it. Hell no.
I cursed myself for ever walking into the Mary estate. | could’ve been out there right now, doing
actual medical work for snice underaged female werewolf in need of physical healing-not
wrapped in this
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtdisaster.
That's when Aurelia showed up, screeching like a banshee through the iron bars.
“You scum! | hired you to help-why would you turn on us? Who put you up to this? Speak!”
She was throwingevery signal short of mouthing the words herself. Say it was Aubrey. BlAubrey.
But could 1?
Would | even survive if | did?
Aubrey’s POV
“Speak! Why aren’t you saying anything?!” Aurelia snapped, pacing like a rabid wolf. Moonlight poured through
the high windows, casting sharp angles on her face-and | could see it clearly. The hunger. The anticipation.
Jimmy was supposed to accuse me.
After all, | was just the “fiancée” now-no real status. Whoever Aurelia had leaned on must have told Jimmy that
Alpha Henry wanted nothing to do with me.
| looked at Jimmy. Waited.
But when our eyes met, | didn’t see contempt.
1 saw fear.
Why... was he afraid of me?

Chapter 24 The Fall of the Puppeteer
* Fassion
Before | could fully process it. Jimmy suddenly leapt up like he'd been electrocuted, pointed straight at Aurelia,
and shouted, “It was you! You, Aurelia, were the one who gave the order!
The moment he spoke, Aurelia’s head snapped toward me. She shrieked so loudly the walls rang. | kriew it!
Aubrey! How could you do this to Bailey? To me?!”
| smiled coldly. “Did you not hear him? He said your name, Aurelia”
“Lies! That's impossible!” Her voice shook.
“Yeah? It’s you!” Jimmy was practically foaming now, voice trembling with panic and rage. “You're
the one who cto me—you gavea million bucks to rape your stepdaughter Aubrey! You said
you wanted to destroy her! That your daughter needed to be the Mary family’s only heir!”
“And that’s not even all! You toldyour Gamma husband couldn’t satisfy you, beggedto fuck
you!”
He turned to Bailey’s direction and barked, “And your daughter’s worse! Ridingand moaning
Alpha Henry’s nthe whole time!”
“Shut up! Shut up!! Officers! Drag him out!” my father shouted, his face going green.
But the guards didn’t move. They were deliberately letting Jimmy speak-every word loud, raw, and
witnessed.
Aurelia turned on me, eyes bloodshot, snarling, “What did you do to him?! What did you promise
him to make him betray us?!”
I looked her straight in the eye, a mild smile curving my lips. While my father’s back was turned, |
raised my hand just enough for her to see-and flipped her off.
“1 didn’t do a thing.”
“No! No, it’s you! You bought him!” she howled, losing it.
Then she broke.
With a guttural snarl, Aurelia transformed, her form ripping into that of her wolf, eyes wild with
madness. She lunged straight at me, jaws open, aimed for my throat.
“Die, you little b*tch!”
